Study Notes of React.js
Import CSS files
Build your css files in src directory. Import your css files in js files by import './index.css';.
We can also import bootstrap files. First, install reactstrap and Bootstrap by npm. Run this command
npm install --save reactstrap bootstrap@4
Import import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; in your js files.
How to get the value of input
In HTML, form elements such as <input>, <textarea>, and <select> typically maintain their own state and update it based on user input. In React, mutable state is typically kept in the state property of components, and only updated with setState().
We can combine the two by making the React state be the “single source of truth”. Then the React component that renders a form also controls what happens in that form on subsequent user input. An input form element whose value is controlled by React in this way is called a “controlled component”.
class NameForm extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {value: ''};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
handleChange(event) {
this.setState({value: event.target.value});
}
handleSubmit(event) {
alert('A name was submitted: ' + this.state.value);
event.preventDefault();
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<label>
Name:
<input type="text" value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleChange} />
</label>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
);
}
}
Conditional Rendering
Conditional rendering in React works the same way conditions work in JavaScript. Use JavaScript operators like if or the conditional operator to create elements representing the current state, and let React update the UI to match them.
render() {
const isLoggedIn = this.state.isLoggedIn;
return (
<div>
{isLoggedIn
? <LogoutButton onClick={this.handleLogoutClick} />
: <LoginButton onClick={this.handleLoginClick} />
}
</div>
);
}
